I'm DT and that's been my online handle since 2001 so every time I see a Dawntrail post cross my dash I'm double-taking and scowling at all y'all for it. Employed adult, she/her, some flavor of queer, that's all you need to know.

This blog is mostly an FFXIV space, but I have an eclectic range of interests and employ a semi-rigorous tagging policy for my own archival purposes. I like books, writing, knitting, video games, fountain pens, shiny rocks (and ink and dice and rings and--), my dog, and baseball. If I'm crying it's probably over an empty word doc or the Red Sox.

Do not ask how far out my queue goes, if I can't see it then it can't hurt me.

Here are some links (apologies to mobile users where these may or may not work):

THE ASK BOX IS: Open!

the chain of events in this minute and a half clip is so extremely delightful and funny

kermit and scooter riffing on how their physicality doesn't let them open the envelope to announce the winner. the audience immediately cracking up when it cuts to statler and waldorf because they know what the bit is gonna be. jim henson slipping into the kermit voice accidentally before bouncing back at record speed and riffing on it. richard hunt genuinely laughing at jim's joke but doing so in-character. prime muppets was something else man

At Ebooks Direct: Summer Reading Sale's still on!

Just so everyone knows: the discounts are still in place! (Because, frankly, the author could really use some cash right now, due to having to shell out much cash to deal with ongoing health challenges that are leaving her rather strapped. Details down here.*)

So anyway! If you're not located in the UK (where, unfortunately, we still can't sell direct due to Brexit [though I'm working on that!, may have found a solution at last, we'll soon see...]), please consider heading over here and seeing what we've got to offer!

There's a lot of ridiculously discounted stuff. The ebook bundles are all being held at their lowest price points for the duration (meaning specifically the All The Wizardry” bundle, the Middle Kingdoms series bundle, the LGBTQ Pride collection, and the Feline Wizardry bundle—Even our “Give Me Everything You’ve Got” collection, which is the whole ebook store in one package, has had a bit knocked off. And naturally it all comes with our lifetime replacement guarantee. Lost your ebooks somehow? Changed readers? We'll send you new download links or swap your order's file formats at no charge. It just seems like a rational way to behave when you're not using your ebook-selling platform to fund a space program.

So can I possibly get folks to reblog this post so that those who might not have caught one of these sales before can do so now if they want to? Please & thank you!

And additionally: for those who’re already up to their necks in ebooks and don’t need more (or have got all of mine), but still want to help out with the local financial situation—if you’d like instead to drop something into my Ko-Fi, it’d be very welcome. And if you feel like doing this, I thank you very much in advance! 🙂

...So thanks again in advance, cousins and friends! You're all fabulous.

*Briefly: the other unexpected health junk that had been behaving itself during the spring continues to kick up cranky. (eyeroll) I don’t want to get into more detail than necessary about this (my mom used to refer to such behavior as “the Organ Recital”), but it’s an outgrowth of the internal problems that have forced me to give up long-distance travel. The MRIs and other diagnostics aren’t always something the Irish national health service pays for (depending on who referred you or recommended it). So over the last couple of months I’ve had no choice but to drop a four-figure amount of cash on this, and as a result I’ve fallen behind on my rent.

My landlord is still being easygoing about the situation, understanding what I’m going through. But I really want to get caught up on this before it gets any worse. So... you get the picture. ...Thanks for being interested.
